A ball diff is a limited slip diff by definition. Oil used inside gear diff slow its operation making them to work tighter than they would without grease. In other words, ticker oil means more torque diference needed to make wheels turn at diferent speeds.
When you tigh a ball diff you are adjusting the diference in torque terms that is needed to make one wheel to turn faster than the other.
Ball diffs are better because their ability to change set up very easily and their much lower weight. However they can't take so much abuse as gear diffs do, and need more skills buiding and maintenance them.
